Gender & Leadership Roundtable (NYUAD)

Since December 2019

Gender & Leadership Roundtable at NYUAD
Co-conveners: Aurelie Dariel and Henriette Müller
New York University Abu Dhabi

The Gender & Leadership Roundtable at New York University Abu Dhabi provides a platform to discuss the continued gender and diversity gaps across the various domains of society, including politics, economics, academia, law, the arts, and civil society, with a particular focus on leadership. By bringing together scholars, practitioners, and artists from within and beyond the NYUAD community, the roundtable seeks to explore current challenges and identify policy solutions that stimulate gender equality, diversity, equity, and inclusion in leadership roles. Social, structural, and cultural contexts are analyzed to better understand barriers to gender equality, diversity, and inclusion in societies.
